Jeremiah 33:22-Philippians 2:14

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 33:17-26

Three of God's covenants, that of royalty with David and his seed, that of the pri 33b3 esthood with Aaron and his seed, and that of Peculiarity with Abraham and his seed, seemed to be all broken and lost while the captivity lasted; but it is here promised that, notwithstanding that interruption and discontinuance for a time, they shall all three take place again, and the true intents and meaning of them all shall be abundantly answered in the New Testament blessings, typified by those... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 33:22

As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured ,.... As the stars of heaven are innumerable, and the sand of the sea immeasurable: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant ; the Messiah; the son and antitype of David; and who is often called by his name; and as the son of David is the servant of the Lord, his spiritual seed are meant, which shall endure for ever; and in Gospel times, especially in the latter part of them, shall be very numerous; see... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 33:22

So will I multiply the seed of David - This must be understood of the spiritual David, Jesus Christ, and his progeny, genuine Christians. The two families which God chose for the priesthood, that of Aaron and Phinehas, or, on its being taken away from him, that of Ithamar, 1 Samuel 2:35 , are both extinct. Nor has the office of high priest, or priest of any kind offering sacrifice, been exercised among the Jews for nearly eighteen hundred years; therefore what is said here of the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 33:22

Verse 22 There is an omission at the beginning; the particle of comparison is left out, for אשר asher, cannot be taken for כאשר caasher: As the hosts of the heavens cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea, so God promises that he would multiply the seed of David, and also the Levites. This promise, as given to Abraham, referred to the whole body of the people; for when Abraham was bidden to go out, and to look on the heavens, God made this promise to him, “Number the stars, if thou canst,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 33:14-26

These verses are omitted in the Septuagint, and some leading critics think that both the style and the contents point to a different author from our prophet. In particular it is urged that the promise of a multitude of Levites and of descendants of David is isolated among the prophecies of Jeremiah, who elsewhere speaks of a single great representative of David as the object of pious hope, and of the intercourse between Jehovah and his people as being closer and more immediate than under the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 33:19-22

The covenant of God permanent as the laws of nature. A curious inversion of Genesis 8:22 , but very instructive. There, what is considered by the secular mind as secured by the laws of matter operating mechanically, is declared as a promise, and consequently as dependent upon the good will and gracious purpose of God; here, what appears at first to be within the power of one or both parties to it, is stated to be as absolute and permanent as if it were not a moral engagement but a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 33:19-26

Nature's aids to faith. We see faith and science flung into conflict. In the Bible they not only harmonize, but science is regarded as a stay to faith, and nature, instead of being treated as a hindrance to faith, is repeatedly called in to strengthen it. As science advances old formulae are necessarily discarded. But may we not approach the difficulties of our age in the spirit of the Bible, and hope for some large synthesis which shall restore the old relation of science as the handmaid... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 33:20-22

The constant, regular succession of day and night is an emblem of the equally regular supply of royal descendants of David and of Levitical priests, and the countless grains of sand are symbolic of the wonderful increase of their numbers. At first sight the latter part of the promise seems a little unlike a blessing. But we have seen already (on Jeremiah 19:3 ) that the members of the various branches of the royal family probably occupied the principal offices of the state, and the prophet... read more

This promise also has been not literally, but spiritually fulfilled, for in this sense only have the seed of David and the Levites been multiplied. read more
